I have started trying to repaint airsraft, but most of the pictures in the texture files are a bunch af innane vertical lines. Is this how it is supposed to be? And if so, how do you make such detailed repaints with a bar code?

P.S.
I am using paint shop pro 8.

I finally used a dictionary to spell my name right.

Download DXTBmp & read the instructions. http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/programs/dxtbmp.htm

Also read through a few topics on this board.

hagar,

you know we've just missed the best oppotunity to say:

Sorry Aspireingpilot. Take no notice. On reading my reply I realise I might have been a tad abrupt.

Welcome to SimV & please don't be afraid to ask if you get stuck. Wink

Atotti, believe me, Ive tried. At first, that is what I thought needed to be done.

Just a comment to the newbies....
The reason some graphics look like "multicoloured barcodes" is that the original .bmp texture ex-PSP7 etc has been compressed using Martin Wright's great utility DXTBmp, this significantly reduces the texture size (in Mb) and allows faster uploads!!!.
